To keep our planet thriving and livable, we must transition to a circular economy from a linear one – but how? In this workshop you’ll hear from industry leaders who are turning theory into action and integrating circular practices into their processes to design and create products that actively contribute to a circular economy.

Using the Cradle to Cradle Design Philosophy as a framework for discussion, the workshop will showcase a panel of brands with real-world examples of strategies they are implementing and lessons learned, as well as how to effectively interface with circularity certifiers and assessors. This will be followed by small group discussions for attendees to discuss and define concrete next steps. Attendees will leave with understanding of the circular economy and their own action plan. Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of redesigning the future!

Learning objectives:

• Define the circular economy
• Understand how different brands use different frameworks to integrate circular practices into their processes and teams
• Describe immediate actions teams can integrate into practice to move to a circular model
